Explanation:

Question 19: Identify the element with the given electron configuration

Step 1: Calculate total electrons

Sum the exponents: \(1s^2\) (2) + \(2s^2\) (2) + \(2p^6\) (6) + \(3s^2\) (2) + \(3p^6\) (6) + \(3d^{10}\) (10) + \(4s^2\) (2) + \(4p^3\) (3). Total: \(2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 10 + 2 + 3 = 33\).

Step 2: Find element with atomic number 33

Atomic number 33 corresponds to arsenic (As).

Step 1: Identify components

  • Principal quantum number (\(n\)): 4 (energy level).
  • Angular momentum quantum number (\(l\)): \(p\) (subshell, \(l = 1\) for \(p\)).
  • Exponent: 6 (number of electrons in \(4p\) subshell).

Step 1: Check Pauli exclusion

\(1s\) and \(2s\) have single electrons (no spin pairing), but \(2p\) has 3 unpaired electrons. However, \(1s\) and \(2s\) should have paired electrons (2 electrons each, spin-up/down) in ground state. Not possible (violates Pauli exclusion for \(1s\) and \(2s\) – they should have 2 electrons each, paired).

Part b:

Answer:

Arsenic (As)
